Ram upgrade Hello, I have two '2gb 2rx8 pc3-10600s-9-10-f2' ram cards left from my dell laptop. Can I upgrade my hp pavilion ze2000(which have only 384mb ram at the moment)with one of them? If I can: - can I leave the old 384mb ram and just add 2gb ram in other slot? - do I need to put both 2gb ram cards to achieve 1gb ram or is one enough? Thanks.

This model laptop will not allow you to add a video card to it. The video card and all of its components are part of the Laptop motherboard already.

You can, however upgrade your memory from the 1GB up to a total of 2GB, but your current configuration is 2x512mb chips.

So right now you have 2 memory slots available but they are being used by the 2 512mb chips. You will have to remove them and replace them with 2 1gb chips. This can be fairly pricey.

Here is a link to your computer specs

Do a search on this website for nc8230 manual. I just did and found the complete manual loaded with hyperlinks. Follow the step by step instructions and you will find the process relatively straight forward. Essentially what you need to do is loosen a couple of screws in the back, remove the keyboard then remove a plate underneath which will expose the ram module.

Make sure you read the manual though.

Cheers

The problem is that your laptop only supports 2 GB of RAM. If there is not a newer bios allowing more then 2 GB is the max you can go. Since you put the 2 GB in one slot then the other slot will be useless. It wouldn't matter how much you put in the 2nd slot because the bios already says you have 2 GB on board and will not accept anymore. Sorry.
